Washington is a federal district rather than a state, it falls under the constitutional authority of Congress rather than a governor, meaning any presidential attempt to take over the city would raise serious constitutional, legal, and political concerns.
President Trump wrote Sunday that homeless people should be moved out of Washington, D.C., "IMMEDIATELY" and relocated "FAR" away, as he hints at more aggressive policing in the nation's capital -- and suggests putting the city under federal control.

White House Reacts To Judge Rejecting Ghislaine Maxwell Grand Jury Request
www.newsweek.com
... White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday that it was "unfortunate" that a federal has denied the Department of Justice's request to unseal grand jury transcripts related to the indictment of Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted associate of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Leavitt was asked about Monday's decision during her press briefing.
She replied, in part, "We think that is unfortunate. The president wants to see credible evidence released. ...
On Monday, in a strongly worded written decision, U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer said federal law "almost never" permits the release of grand jury materials and warned that making such documents public casually would be ill-advised. He went further, accusing the Justice Department of pushing for their release under false pretenses, suggesting the real aim was to give the public an "illusion" of transparency rather than genuine disclosure.
Engelmayer dismissed the department's claim that unsealing the transcripts could reveal new details about the crimes of Maxwell or her longtime associate, Jeffrey Epstein, calling that argument "demonstrably false." ...

Kamala Harris Has More Billionaires Prominently Backing Her Than Trump -- Bezos And Griffin Weigh In (Updated) (October 2024)
www.forbes.com
... Key Facts
Our breakdown records 83 billionaires supporting Harris and 52 backing Trump so far (see the lists for both below).
Many more billionaires may still financially back a candidate, but their donations won't be learned until after the election, when final Federal Election Commission reports are issued in December.
Billionaires leaning toward Harris may seem incongruous, since she often criticizes Trump for advocating for policies favorable toward billionaires"but there are practical reasons why the ultra wealthy may favor Harris.
A letter signed by more than a dozen billionaires last month endorsing Harris explained their belief Harris "will continue to advance fair and predictable policies that support the rule of law, stability, and a sound business environment," indicating the support for the status quo as the U.S. economy and stock market exhibit strength, while a recent survey of millionaire investors -- which found a 57% to 43% split in Harris's favor -- identified technology, healthcare and sustainability stocks as the sectors most poised to benefit from a Harris win, a mix friendly to many of her billionaire backers from Silicon Valley, who grew familiar with Harris during her time as a California prosecutor. ...

Too Much Joy - The Kids Don't Understand (1996)
www.youtube.com
Lyrics excerpt ...
...
Well they flash
Those half-knowing smiles
As they pass
Heroic profiles
Like they're in some book by Ayn Rand
Always working, always tanned
So satisfied but the kids don't understand
You kiss her
Don't even love you
It's a blur
She's getting on top of you
Sometimes you see stuff nobody planned
Stick your head back in the sand
Oh, don't worry cause the kids don't understand
Stuck your hands in the wet cement
In the soft spot of my skull
Well it stings
Lick your wounds if I could
No such thing
As a normal childhood
Give em paper, scissors and crayons
Give all those concerned a big hand
Maybe they deserve it, but the kids don't understand
...
